Billy Ray Cyrus is releasing his first album of original material in 14 years this June, and it’s a family affair.

The beloved country music talent and entertainer has unveiled the single On Our Way Along, a heartfelt duet with his daughter, pop singer Noah Cyrus.

Originally released last week – 3 April – Billy Ray has since announced that the song acts as the first single from his forthcoming album, The Hill.

The Hill will be released on Tuesday, 16 June, via Billion Streams Entertainment. And it turns out that On Our Way Along was only the beginning: Billy Ray’s son, Braison Cyrus, co-wrote and co-produced the track, as well as the forthcoming album.

"Talk about full circle. This is a really special time in my life, after the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana with Miley [Cyrus] last week on Disney, and now releasing ‘On Our Way Along’ with Braison and Noah appropriately taking place on the most sacred of all weekends… Good Friday,” Billy Ray said.

He continued, “Braison put together an eclectic group of musicians when we recorded it at the world-famous Castle studios. It’s a celebration of all things music and family. Made from the heart… for the heart.”

Noah Cyrus added, “I’m really proud to be teaming up with my dad and my brother Braison (our producer) for this song. Braison’s produced a beautiful album, and I'm happy to be just a small part of it and our father’s legacy.”

Billy Ray Cyrus’ last album of original material, Change My Mind, was released in 2012. He’s since released another three records, which primarily featured covers and remixes.

In 2019, Cyrus earned his first #1 single on the US Billboard Hot 100 as a featured artist on the country-fied remix of Lil Nas X’s hit song, Old Town Road. The song went on to spend a record-breaking 19 consecutive weeks on top of the charts – 18 of them credited to Cyrus.

The collaboration earned critical acclaim, with Cyrus winning his first two Grammy Awards for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Music Video.
